A great video begins with a great script.

Whether you’re making a commercial or explainer video you must start with a well crafted script.

 

Voiceover, music, visuals—these elements enhance your story, but that story needs to be on paper first.

 

Our creative team can do that. It’s important to have a strong foundation.

 

There’s a great deal of responsibility at this stage of the video production process.

 

If you haven’t written a video script before (or aren’t very confident about the draft you have at hand), don’t despair.

 

We’ve written plenty of video scripts, so we know what will make the process easier and will save headaches along the way.

Write your script

Save time and money during the 3 stages of production, pre-production and post. In collaboration with you, FYI Media can write your video script. It will also include the visual, audio elements, graphics, illustrations, animations and motion graphics that the final video should contain .

We specialise in creating scripts for your business. We love a good collab! Here are some steps that may help get you started.

Write your script

This process will help you write a video script that’s effective, even if you aren’t an expert.

Let’s look at the steps you might take in making your script:

  • Record yourself reading the script.
  • How long is it when recorded?
  • Edit and revise.
  • Edit and revise.
  • Does it flow? Does it tell a story?
  • Edit and revise.

Write your script with ease of reading in mind

Writing a great script is the first step in creating standout content, but neither happens by accident. 

That may sound like a lot, but we’ve broken these down so you write a better script for video that turns viewers into loyal customers or clients.

One of the most important roles FYI Media takes on during content creation is the writer role. Regardless of everything else, it all starts with the script. 

Here are 3 absolute “must do’s” when writing a script.

  1. Write in short sentences. That’s how we talk.
  2. Only one subject per sentence.
  3. Use a full stop instead of a comma.

These 3 things will make reading the script flow; and easy to read aloud.

The next step once we have finished the writing section is to film your video.

PLAN

First we make sure we understand everything you need and how we can uniquely deliver that.

WRITE

This is your script and is the most important part of the entire production. It's usually edited several times before you approve it. Then we create the ‘picture script’ or 'storyboard'.

FILM/VIDEO

We record and film everything using high-quality professional equipment.

 

POST PRODUCTION

We combine the components into a video that you will be proud of.
